For the fifth consecutive year, Minto’s homebuilding team in Ottawa held a contest to name the Minto Dream Home for CHEO, the grand prize in the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. This is the twenty-fourth year that we have built the Minto Dream Home grand prize and for this year’s naming contest we received more than 630 submissions, with name options ranging from Espa to Serenity.

And this year’s contest winner is the Oasis, submitted by Jorge G. It’s a word that feels naturally synonymous with Dream Home and that perfectly reflects the home’s wellness-inspired design. As a prize, Jorge will receive a bundle of three tickets for the CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery and an exclusive tour of the home upon completion.

“I had to read my email a few times, since winning this contest came as a great surprise,” says Jorge. “I feel honored and privileged that my suggested name was selected as the winner. Like an oasis, our home provides us with a beautiful, peaceful and comforting place to enjoy. The Minto Dream Home for CHEO lottery is a very noble initiative that tremendously benefits children in great need, along with their families. I also feel very proud that my wife and I have been supporting this lottery for over a decade now and look forward to continue doing so.”

Minto thanks Jorge G. for giving the 2024 Minto Dream Home a standout name. “It’s the perfect name,” says Karen van der Velden, Minto’s product development manager. “It embodies both the architectural design plus the interior design features, which will make you feel calm and warm, like you’re wrapped in a cozy blanket, and refreshed with an abundance of natural light.”

This year’s Dream Home returns to Minto’s Mahogany, Manotick community. The home design is a joint effort between Minto’s Karen van der Velden and Tanner Vine of Tanner Vine Interiors.
